Reddit most often favors Kinky-Curly Knot Today for high-slip detangling and Blueberry Bliss for lightweight frizz control, especially when used sparingly.
The why
A lightweight leave-in conditioner with cetyl alcohol and behentrimonium methosulfate gives wet hair serious slip for detangling, clumping, and softer waves. Fine-haired users can leave most in, but heavy-handed application may flatten or feel too rich.
Blueberry Bliss Reparative Leave-In Conditioner
Lightweight protein leave-in for frizz-prone waves; less is more.

As I Am is easy to layer but may weigh down finer hair, while Ouai smooths without heaviness yet can coat hair and build up at roots. Fine waves seem best served by tiny amounts on wet hair; Orbis suits blow-dry smoothing, while Ouai’s strong fragrance can bother scent-sensitive users.
